California Consortium for Independent Study

The California Consortium for Independent Study (CCIS) is a voluntary membership organization comprised of teachers, administrators, and counselors who serve independent learners in California’s public school system. As a consortium, we represent over 300 independent study schools and programs across the state which provide preschool through adult educational programs to over two-hundred thousand learners.

Upcoming Webinars

Charter School Compliance

Join Lisa Corr from Young, Minney, & Corr LLP (The Charter School Law Firm) for an update on Compliance. Independent Study has been overhauled during the last two years of budget trailer bills. This session will provide a deep dive into independent study compliance as specifically applicable to charter schools.

The Breakfast Club

Join our CCIS Board Members for some stimulating conversation around best practices for independent study programs and schools.

Best practice topics will focus on student engagement (increasingly more elusive & even more relevant post COVID), motivation (always an integral factor to student success & engagement) and attendance (necessary for program and school survival).

- March 11, 2023 (SAT), 9-10 AM
- May 6, 2023 (SAT), 9-10 AM
Presenters: Daniel O’Brien and Kate Perry
Cost: $325
Includes all three Breakfast Club meetings with recordings. The Bootcamp recording (from 9/10/2022) will also be available with the Bundle.

Advantages of CCIS Webinars

CCIS has determined that frequent and topical webinars are more supportive to our members than the one-time face-to-face conference. Please watch for the topical webinar options on our website and for the Q and A opportunities. We want to cover the rapidly changing legislation and all of the new events in Independent Study with you. We look forward to seeing you!
